Summary/Abstract: While portraying women, the Warsaw-based Catholic periodical „Rodzina Polska” (Polish Family), published by the Pallottines between 1927 and 1939, did not limit their profile only to the role of wife and mother. The analysis of its content demonstrated their important social role and the change in their image as influenced by the political situation. The profiles of the women presented included those in various professions, with ladies being able to achieve success alongside men. Contributions were made to debates on the emancipation of women, their education, work, earnings and trade unions. At anniversaries, female cultural and social activists, writers, journalists and monarchs were commemorated. The issues above were presented in the context of the Interwar period and the social trends of the time. The article uses the following methods: literary and critical analysis, as well as media and press content analysis and case study.
